Tha fund la to ba uaed In the oonatrne 'tlon and Improvement of the- publlo road a of tha country, tinder tha d traction f tha aecretary of agriculture, throush a bureau of hlfhwaya. ' A plan of re operation between tha atatea and tha Vnlted States la -provided, whereby tha ' atatea may apply for and receive a pro ' portion iof thla appropriation acoordtng I to population, on condition that they provide tha neeewaary right of way for j auch roada; that tha road a a hall ba of auch publlo importance aa to. Juatlfy con- atructlon, and that they wiU ba matn- talned without racoursa upon tha United 'i Sutea after thay are ao conatructed or r Improved. It la alao provided that eacn a Lata aball duplicate from tha atate treaaury tha amount It recatvea Irotn tha government. aa that In three years' time a total of 141.000.000 will ba apent by tha government and the various atatea and territories la the country. . From my own experience I know that tha sutea having the beat roads thus far are New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Itaaaachuaetta. The reason for thla laaot. aoaidaatal. -toe lua- ia. the fact that tbeae four atatea annually appro "priate from 1220,000 to 1(00,000 to be spent solely in the Improvement of atate ' roada. It ia a revelation to ride over ' theae roads in New Jersey after trm- veralng the roads of the west, and one ' appreciates fully the great advantages ' to ba derived from good roads after once ' traveling tha macadamised hlghwaya of ' New Jersey, ' Massachusetta or any of tbeae four atatea. : ' - Good roada are going to help greatly in solving a momentous aoclal problem 'which preaenta ltaelf today.- The trend of oar rural population to tha cities has , almost become a menace to country Ufa . throughout the United States, and this . is especially noticeable la the eastern eeetiooe. However, the rapid develop r roent recently of our suburban electric line a, the telephone and the rJral mall :i route has done much to make life la the i rural dlatrlcta aa convenient and pitae .'ant la moat ways aa In tha, city. Al moet the- only- thing -lacking now -are tgood roads for teauns or aatomobllas to travel, and the necessity of these is ap 3 parent throughout any one of our atatea. 4and there are sections of the four states t, above mentioned which, are still In very urgent need -of highway improvement. iHThe farmer and the lnhabitanta of the tmaMer towns are rapidly adopting auto rmobllea now, and throughout the west it ,1a surprising to see what a demand for machinea la coming from villages of (00 population and . upward. It has aeemed "almost a self-evident truth that the sale iof automobiles ia any particular district ftn not dependent upon how much money the residents have, but entirely upon how good are the roada.. The almoat universal prosperity.' of this country gives a vary large population who can afford to buy automobiles, and whether or not they do buy is dependent upon the quality of roads in their particular sec tlon. I look for a growth in tha auto- THE VALUE OP CHARCOAL .

With a world-wide bualneaa, such as la . done by my ewa company.' who manufacture not only pleasure, vehicles, but build commercial wagons and railway Inapeo tlon cars, one Is most easily convinced of the hold the motor car has upon the American public, and . of tne certainty that the demand for machlnea can. never grow leaa and muat increaae beyond the ideas of moat of ua. Improvements fa American automobiles have been radi cal in the laat two-years; we are aelllng our care la tha - original home of the automobile Prance,'- and in - aggregate aumbers this country far exceeds any other in the quantity, of cars manufae tured. The lnduatry is going ahead by leaps and bounds, and the only limit seems to be the question of good roads in sections which do not have them now. A united effort on the part f thoae In terested will put through -the I- timer 'bllL now up before the senate, and if the senate passes it there should be bo trouble In the house, and a year from now better roads throughout our-coun. try . will become aa absolute, certainty. It aurely aeame time,- that we .took a chapter' from the book of European road-making sad emulated, .the example of our brothers across tha water, wboee roada are the fl neat in the world and whose country districts . sre - perhaps mere charming than the cities. About the only class of people who seem to receive no great amount of benefit from government appropriations are tne lar mars. The rural main delivery was an Important recognition of their needs, and good roada are evea more to be de aired. - The prosperity of our farming community has muck to do with the general prosperity of the country, and If our farms are prosperous, so likewise sre . the manufacturing interests who sell them goods. The prosperity sf tha automobile lnduatry depends upon good roada. and If ths Latimer bill can put through its beneficial effects will be far-reaching. Many plana are suggested, to. secure good roads, but the quickest and moat feasible way is through ths speedy adop tion of tha . Latimer and Brownlow measures. As each atate must duplicate from lta own treasury the appropriation It receives from the government, it will not take, the state long to appreciate the benefits to be derived from better road conditions, as thslr appropriations by tha third year will no doubt be saucb larger than Kbe amount received from Waahlngton. It is provided that the states - should maintain ths 'roads, and once our people as a whole fully under. stand the financial : value of first-class highways, there will hardly be an oppos ing voice to generous appropriation a, la every - stats in our union. -i ns press of - ths country can do- much towards sedsencing - popular sentiment - aa - well as legislative sentiment, and concerted action on the part of every one Inter ested for the next few months should pssa these measures i and permit work to.be started Per ore, me year live is ver.,-j : -,: i t i . jr ; The riMrvenreat te lorganlse aa auto mobtls dub In Portlapd ia taking more definite ' shape. !

Kelley In his White Steamer had a strenuous trip recently through the Deschutes country, and he has the record . of making the first hard, . long run of the present . season. On the trip Mr. K el ley was accompanied by Mr. Crow. Dr. Slighter, H. rrank stays snd Judge Bradahsw of The Dalles and It is a trip that-win long be remembered by every one In the. party, for It' was made- la good ' time' and alao demon strated tha ' staying qualities of the White steamer. The party left The Dallea at 10 o'clock In tha morning and went around by the free bridge. At one place they encountered-a drop or J, 04)0 feet In two miles, but it waa aafrly ne gotiated. After getting down to the level of the Deschutes river it was dis covered that ths road bed. had been washed. out and the trip In tbs aula had to be made up ths bed of the rlvt,r, and It was a hard trip over the stones and small boulders, several times ths party stopping long enough to roll extra large boulders out of tha way. After get ting out on the plain Mr. Xelley hit up the pare, for despite the hard work the car had' been subjected te on tne trip us the .river -bed. .'It waa stttll to tha good, and the 10 miles from Moro to Wasco and was run In II 'minutes. On the "return - trip, ths party . followed I r ; " - ' V Car. the road and did -Dot -attempt any more stunts with' rlvsr beds. The trip back to The Dalles was mads In excellent time.! The ' party left Wasco at 4 :40 o'clock and ths run. of SO miles to Ths Dallea waa finished a few minutes be fore - 7 , o'clock., Mr. Kelley says s that if .anyone Is looking for a good, rough road on - .which to test a car hs "would advlaa them to take the trip In .from The Dallea by. the free .bridge, and if the car. cornea out .all right. and in run ning order, tbey can be assured that It will . stand any . tour that anyone may ears to make around . Portland.- At one point on the road the party leaned over the side of the car and dropped pob. bias into a canyon too feet -below. '"Ben" Holladay. true to his promise fo startle the Portland auto world, did so on Thursday last, when he mads his appearance In his new WInton touring car. Without a doubt thla car is very handsome, stylish and striking, but tb sre not the only qualities. In fact -the appearance Is very little Mr. Holladay talks about, for while he Is naturally proud of its fins finishing, hs points -out Its good features of construction ana it has a larae number of these good ree- tures. In constructing this new r model the Winton people havs followed many of ths standard features of foreign cars. including ths engines -under ths bonnet and a direct shaft drive, which the win ton people believe beat - for the light touring car. - a the street the ear makes a most striking appearance. It Is finished in silver gray, making It look aa u it waa construotaa entirety ox sign ly polished aluminum. There is a great display 'of brass and with" Its "bxT "blood upholstery, the car causes many people to - turn and take a second . look. 1 Ai though Mr. Holladay has had ths ear only a few daya ha has given a liumber of demonstrations to ths autolsts of Portland, and they all units in saying that he has a very satisfactory oar. , Tha Journal has been requested " to gather Che . opinion of local experts on the better spark the jump or the make Land break. A talk with leading chauf feurs of ths city, shows that nearly all of -them favor the jump spark, because of Its simplicity and that it requires less-current to operate It.' There ia, ai far as can be learned, not a car in Port. land equipped with the make and break. The first mske and break sparks manu fsctured "Were not satisfactory but it is andsrstood that one is now being' toads which ia . being used on some of the big racing machines la the east, bub It is likely to be some time before say' thing for all around work can equal tha Jump, for. in addition to its simplicity it is easier, by it to control ths time of ignition and it can be operated at a much higher speed than other styles of parks. There has been considerable talk dur ing 'the past week over the purchase -by W. K. Travis of a Pope-Toledo car and there has been some inquiries aa to what induced him to get that car. There is no quniivD mat , int rvp-jgiao .ia a great car and one that can develop great speed. Mr. Travis bought his new ear after trying out" several" st the New Tork show but what led to the 'direct purchase ia said to be a little speed run he made on the Tonkers road dur ing show week. Mr. Travis went out In a pops and a long ths 'road tbsy. en countered a big Mercedes racing ear, Mr. , Travis wss . running .ths- Pope-To ledo and there was soon a race with the big Frenchman. S.
